I noticed your atheistic rights and responsibilities. I don’t actually see any rights, but only responsibilities. Anyway, I’m curious why I should obey any of those? Because YOU think I should? What exactly are the long-term consequences if I fail to adhere to all of those responsibilities.

Now you say “Remember, theists may condemn you for living by this code because you are doing it of your own free will instead of because you’re afraid that if you don’t a supreme being will set you on fire.” Who will condemn me for living exactly opposite to this code? Atheists? So what? Theists? So what?

What are the long-term consequences if you don’t adhere to the code? People won’t like you. Who will condemn you? Society.

If you want to live opposite to this code go ahead, but do it somewhere far away from civilization.
